I know it doesn't open until Saturday but previews started and I am surprised to not find anything about the show. I have tickets and am curious to find out what people have thought.
I think they just had their first rehearsal. I don't think they've started previews yet.
It started performances yesterday: Tuesday June 5, 2018.

They had their first preview on Tuesday night with Friday being opening night. Last night (Tuesday night) I was texting with one of my friends who is in the show and as of 11:15pm the show still wasn't over.
I'll be seeing the show the week of the 20th and I CAN'T wait! Going to be a great night of theatre!

I saw it Tuesday the first preview. It is long. It started probably around 8:10, had a 10 min intermission around 9:45, and finished at 11:30.
The cast is generally very good, with some great direction. They really utilize the outdoor aspects of the theater. Hanks is as expected, excellent. Some of the more serious scenes drag, and the audience would wake up a bit more whenever Hanks returned to the stage.
If you are going to see the show, the theater is quite exposed and open, bring blankets and at least a sweatshirt. They are going to make a killing selling their own blankets and jackets.
One imagines he has an assistant that sees to him?
